Nothing I’ve read has changed me more than “you do people a favor by accepting their help” like I repeat this constantly to so many people because it’s true!!! People like to feel useful, they like to feel kind, they like to feel like they have an ability to impact people’s lives so just let them!! Not everything is a thing to be owed back — accept people’s kindness without making a competition out of it

the circle mage origin is so wild like you can prove yourself completely untrustworthy to any authority and duncan will be like "you know what? i like that. shows initiative. also blood magic isn't even that bad you're all pussies."

Thinking about the way the threads of the Dragon Age protagonists' fate interweave, depending on your choices. Even in small ways!

The Warden's assassin boyfriend is pursued in Kirkwall, and, when she learns he's innocent of Nuncio's charges, Hawke helps Zevran escape to fly home to her.

Hawke comes to the Inquisition at Varric's behest, so the Inquisitor ensures she comes out of the Fade for Varric's sake (and Fenris's) (also I cannot leave her there, SORRY she's just a guy leave her be).

The Inquisitor meets with Rook to help her and lend an ear, having been in a similar leadership role before when she didn't feel prepared. And is perhaps the best equipped person to talk about Solas.

Not to mention all the little callbacks you get. "You traveled with the Hero of Ferelden? // You knew the Champion of Kirkwall // You were a part of the Inquisition, what was the Inquisitor like?" Like seeking out information and maybe even comfort in hearing about these people put into impossible situations, hoping maybe they too can come out the other side.

Thedas is held up by strong women in my cannon and it makes me emotional.

(Morrigan is also part of the squad in my mind, despite not being a playable character idc, she's good friends with my Warden and Inquisitor)

all that 38+ strength put to good use

"Honey and lavender cream. Sweet, intriguing..." This started off as a leyendecker style study, ended up as lucanis drinking his coffee and me rendering that cloud of smoke for wayy too long rip -☕🪻🍯🐝-

Some Warden wips...

My art has taken a crazy turn recently that even I was unprepared for, but it's been really really fun trying new things! I blame Arcane...but I think studying how they render skin has unlocked something in my brain.

I finally made one! Happy dragon age day everyone

reaching the point of hyperfixation where I can no longer engage with it due to the nausea that I experience at the mere thought of seeing it on my screen is the closest I’ve ever been to being diagnosed with female hysteria

A quick Zevran x Vanya sketch to get them off my mind [it didn't work I fear] 🛡️🗡️

You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.

Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.

And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.

Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.
